Aces Back to Back is a compact disc featuring a compilation of songs by Bobby Darin plus a DVD containing archival video of Darin. The set was compiled and released in 2004 by Hyena Records in an agreement with the Bobby Darin estate 31 years after Darin's death.[1][2] According to producer Joel Dorn, "The title says it all. It’s aces back to back, all left hooks and no filler.”[3]

Two songs, "If I Were a Carpenter" and "Simple Song of Freedom", were from an unreleased live recording in 1969.[1] Two songs were culled from Darin's Big Sur sessions.[3]
